Sex and the City’s Kim Cattrall brands Sarah Jessica Parker a ‘cruel hypocrite’ following her reaction to brother’s death

Sex and the City actress Kim Cattrall has lashed out at Sarah Jessica Parker in an Instagram post, labelling her “cruel”.

Kim announced the tragic news that her brother Chris Cattrall had passed away last week, thanking her fans for the “outpouring of love and support”.

Upon hearing the news, Sarah Jessica Parker reached out to her former Sex and the City co-star, telling Entertainment Tonight: “If somebody in your life, whether you’re in touch with them or not, [is] suffering for any reason, it’s involuntary that you want to convey condolences or sadness or just let someone know you’re thinking about them.”

Speaking with Extra, the actress added: “I can’t begin to know how her family is managing such a loss. We all send her our love and condolences and grant her the privacy that she’s asked for.”

However, Kim has now responded to Sarah’s well-wishes, accusing the star of exploiting her family’s tragedy.

“I don’t need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker,” her post read.

She continued in the picture’s caption: “My Mom asked me today ‘When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?’

“Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend.

“So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”

The two actresses are already known to have had some tensions in the past, with Kim famously turning down the opportunity to star in another Sex and the City film alongside her former co-star.
